Fail package with expression

How do I use the expression to force a failure using an If statement to evalute a rowcount variable?

I'd evaluate that variable in a script task instead.|||

Do you have an example of how to do that?

If my rowcount < 1 then I want to fail the package

Actually, use an expression. Add the script task and hook up a precedence constraint to it. Set it to evaluate the expression.

For the script code, it's basically the default code that is generated when you add a new script task. The only difference is that you call Dts.Results.Failure instead of success.

Code Snippet

Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Public Class ScriptMain

Public Sub Main()
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
End Sub

End Class

Can you help me with the if then expression to evalute the variable?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

Just use:

@.rowcount < 1

That's all you need. When you double click on the connection between the ?Data flow? and the script task, set it to use constraint and expression. Then use the above (copy and paste if your variable is named 'rowcount') in the expression box. Note that I believe the CaSE of the variable name is important.

Extremely complex Select statement

Hello,
I'm having real problems defining a SELECT statement for
the following scenario:
I have a Requirements table, each row in this table has
at least 1 row in the RequirementsWeeks table which
defines values for N weeks for each requirement.
Also, each requirement has a product value and a tool
value and each product belongs to a prodCategory and each
tool belongs to a ToolCategory (these associations are
stored in separate tables)
Here's an example of the records I have:
Requirements: RequirementsWeeks:
Product Tool Id ReqId Week Value
A TA 1 1 8 0.20
C TB 2 1 9 0.35
2 8 2.56
2 9 3.52
Products: Tools:
Id ProductName ProCategoryID Id ToolName ToolCatID
1 A 45 1 TA 68
2 B 53 2 TB 68
3 C 45
What i want to have is:
For all pairs product-tool in requirements that matches
ToolCatID And ProdCatID return the sum for week N
For example:
ToolCatID:68 And ProdCatID:45 the sum will return 0.20 +
2.56
And I need this to be done for All posible combinations
of ToolCatID and ProdCatID.
Any thoughts? I don't want to loop through a single SQL
statement that receives toolCat and prodCat as parameters,
I thought there's a way for SQL to manage this.
Thank you a lot for your time! I'm really desperate!Yes, exactly. Thanks a lot for your time, I've already
found a solution, which is to divide the problem in two
parts: The statement to select each row, and the one to
select that for all possible combinations of toolcat and
product cat(which was a very easy select). This seems to
work well but if you have a better idea please let me know.
Thank you so much for your time!! I really appreciate it!

Extracting month, day, year from dates

I need help in building a Select statement for an ODBC connection to an AS400 DB2 system. I am using this Select statement for SQL Reporting Services.

Unfortunately 15 years ago one of the main datatables on the AS400 was set up splitting the transaction date into THREE FIELDS! One for Month, one for Day and then one for Year.

I need to take yesterday's date and somehow use this in my WHERE statement to connect the transaction records that are in this AS400 table. This is what I have now that is not working:

WHERE QS36F.BRDMST."BREED#" = QS36F.DOGOWNR.BRDCOD AND (QS36F.DOGOWNR.TMONTH = "MONTH"(GETDATE() ) AND
(QS36F.DOGOWNR.TDAY = "DAY"(GETDATE()-1 ) AND (QS36F.DOGOWNR.TYEAR = "YEAR"(GETDATE())
GROUP BY QS36F.BRDMST.BRDESC

How do I extract each day, month, and year from the current date?

Thanks for the information

SqlServer has a DatePart function. Is that what you're looking for?

Mike

|||

Mike,

I did try the DATEPART function and was getting an AS400 ODBC Client Express error. I do believe I solved the problem, however I just had this query running over two hours and just killed it. Here is the SELECT statement:

SELECT COUNT(QS36F.BRDMST.BRDESC) AS BreedCount, QS36F.BRDMST.BRDESC
FROM QS36F.BRDMST, QS36F.DOGOWNR
WHERE QS36F.BRDMST."BREED#" = QS36F.DOGOWNR.BRDCOD AND (QS36F.DOGOWNR.TMONTH = "MONTH"(NOW())) AND
(QS36F.DOGOWNR.TDAY = "DAY"(NOW()) - 1) AND (QS36F.DOGOWNR.TYEAR = "YEAR"(NOW()))
GROUP BY QS36F.BRDMST.BRDESC

The DOGOWNR table has about 1,500,000 records.

I need this to be a lot quicker. Might you have any suggestions? My thought is to use SSIS to extract all of the data into SQL from the AS400 and then build the reports through that, except that SSIS will have to run nightly to copy over any differential data.

Thanks for the information.

|||

Wish I could help, but I'm no DBA. I wonder where the bottlenecks are, guessing it's the ODBC business and not the query? Would be interesting to run that query right on the AS400 and see how fast it is.

I did a quick google trying to see if there's a .NET driver available. I found this - http://cc.borland.com/Item.aspx?id=23616 - not sure if it will help or not.

Mike

|||

Mike,

Our AS400 contractor happens to be here today and I asked her. She said that for the AS400 itself to query this datatable it takes about 1/2 an hour. I do believe too it has something to do with ODBC which is why I might go the SSIS route and replicate the data that is needed.

I will also check out that .Net driver. Thanks for the help.

|||You are going to have a problem with that if it is the 1st of the month or of the year. Make sure you are using Now() or Now() -1 in all instances, not a combination of the two.

If your query is running much longer than expected you might want to make sure the data types match up. If your TYear field and Year(Now()) are different data types it is possible that your TYear is being converted rather than the result of Year(Now()). If this was the case I don't think your index would be used. In any case check your query plan to be sure.

When you check the plan, make sure that the expected table is driving the query. I am not familiar with AS400 but in some database implementation this is critical.

count(*) is often more effecient than count(column). Since you are grouping on the column being counted you don't really need count to filter out counting of the null columns.

You might also experiment with a view that does the counting for you, then join the view back tot he breed table.

Create View OwerCountByBreed As
Select brdcod, count(*) "TheCount"
From dogownr
Where
TYear = Year(Now()-1) And
TMonth = Month(Now()-1) And
TDay = Day(Now-1)
Group By brdcod

Select brddesc, TheCount
From mrdmst, ownercountbybreed
Where brdmst.breed# = ownercountbybreed.brdcod

Just some thoughts. Sorry if this was all obvious.
|||

Some of that was obvious but not thought of by me so thank you for the reminders (like having be the first day of the month). I think maybe an easier solution may be to do a DATEADD. I don't know, I will figure it out today.

I also am going to try using the IBM AS400 OleDB adapter as opposed to using ODBC and see if that helps any.

I am mainly a developer, not a DB Admin. I am very familiar with simple SELECT statements. I am learning more and more about advanced SELECT statements.

|||

Hi,

I have some experience in AS400/DB2 - it look to me like you are running this on system 36 flat files (system 36 environment on the AS400) am I correct?

This may be a mute point - but have you checked the indexing on the DB2 database? Adding one index may well speed things up.

Also, what anti-virus do you have on your PC? Strange question? I have know Norton realtime scan to try and check all data as it was returned via ODBC - just a thought.

|||I was able to use SSIS useing Derived Colums to pull the data into a Flat File. I then copied the flat file into SQL. The initial pull from the AS400 took about two hours for almost 2.5 million records, but the flat file to SQL took about 30 seconds.

Extract values from XML column (rows) to a rowset

Hi,
I have a question regarding extracting XML data as relational data. From
the looks of it looks like the OPENXML statement is not relevant since the
data I need to extract resides in XML columns (in a table).
So I have this query
SELECT [MyXmlCol] FROM [MyTable] WHERE [XmlTypeName]='Schema1'
MyXmlCol â' is an XML column, and the WHERE clause assures me that I know how
to access this XML data (using xpath)
Letâ's say the data in XML column looks like this
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
(were in each row the value of the Product & Version nodes are different).
I want a table/rowset with two columns Product (xpath
/MyStuff/Product/text()) and Version (xpath /MyStuff/Version/text())
I want the rowset/table to look like this:
Product Version
-- --
WindowsVista 1
WindowsHome 2
WindowsXP 3
How do I accomplish this ?

I understand that you'd like to insert a table from a xml type value. You
may want to use openxml to do the job:
CREATE TABLE MyStuff( product varchar(20), version int)
go
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'
<MyStuff>
<Product>Windows Vista</Product>
<Version>1</Version>
</MyStuff>
'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- Use OPENXML to provide rowset consisting of customer data.
INSERT Mystuff
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/MyStuff', 2)
WITH (proudct varchar(20) '/MyStuff/Product',
version int '/MyStuff/Version')
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.docHandle
select * from mystuff
If you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to let's know. Thank
you.

Thank you for your response.
What I am trying to do is to extract data from an XML column I have in one
of my tables. I am trying to make the data in the XML column appear as part
of the normal rowset.
I will run a SQL SELECT statement from my C# code expecting to receive the
data back in the form of a rowset (so I can read it as primitive types using
IDataReader).
Anyway, Uri's response works for me in most of the cases, it doesn't cover
(and I tried several things myself) the case where I need to extract multiple
values (i.e. rows) from a single XML document (stored in the xml column in a
given row in my table).
Thanks for the help

The OPENXML is probably not the solution since I have the XML document
stored in a column.
As for your second solution, it looks like it is in the right direction,
however I don't see how I can scale it to the case I have N (or an unkown
number of) AddressRecord nodes in each XML document (i.e. one row's XML
column might contain zero AddressRecord elements and another row might
contain 10...)
How do I scale this solution ?

instance is a column inside a table, you use this with APPLY against the table where the column
exists. Example, assuming table is temp table instead of table variable:
SELECT nc.value('@.City[1]', 'varchar(39)')
FROM #tAddress
CROSS APPLY Address.nodes('/AddressType/AddressRecord') AS nt(nc)
